Food Safety Inspection of Baked Goods and Snacks
Fast, efficient inspection of snacks and baked goods
Most manufacturers of snack foods and baked goods use food safety and quality inspection technology, including food X-ray inspection, food metal detection and food checkweighing equipment to help ensure they get their products to market contamination-free and in the case of multiple-item packs, with all of the promised pieces in place.
But with different types of packaging for different types of baked goods and snacks, including metallized film, deciding what kind of technology to use and where in the plant it is needed can be a challenge. Here are some resources to help manufacturers of snacks and baked goods ensure a quality product gets into the hands of the consumer.
Checkweighers are a critical component to any baking or snack foods operation. Close tolerances need to be kept to avoid giving away costly ingredients—or on the opposite end of the spectrum—under filling, thereby not meeting legal requirements and negatively impacting customer trust.
